Demoness, Where Are You Fleeing To?

The atmosphere in front of Juyong Pass was extremely depressing at this time.

Li Xuan was still looking at the tall city wall and gate in front of him, his expression uncertain for a while.

Behind him, almost everyone was silent.

"Fuck!" Zhang Yue yelled angrily: "How about attacking directly? We have Yu Shangshu's talisman order, how dare they rebel?"

Peng Fulai rolled his eyes at Zhang Yue, and then said to Li Xuan with a solemn expression: "Qianzhi, this matter cannot be forced, otherwise all our reasons will become unreasonable. Moreover, the high city and deep pools in Juyongguan are very strict, not just one or two The Heavenly Position can be conquered."

He knew that the 3,500 people behind him could be used to defend the city, but used to attack the city, that was nothing.

Moreover, they came to reinforce Juyongguan. There was no reason for them to fight with the defenders at Juyongguan after the reinforcements failed.

Seeing the opportunity, Master Lingjie of Jingjue Temple spoke again to persuade: "Master Jing'an Hou, the matter has come to this, what can we do? If we can't enter Juyongguan, we people can only be slaughtered. God's will is like this, why not - —”

He swallowed back the words "Let's go" at the end, but at this moment, Li Xuan had already half-pulled out the knife.

Master Ling Jie was extremely helpless, thinking how could this Marquis of Jing'an be so arrogant?

It's okay if he wants to sacrifice his life for righteousness, but he still has to drag these monks with him.

Luo Yan frowned and asked, "Can I ask for an order from His Majesty or the Ministry of War? Your Majesty's order can't be resisted in Juyongguan, right?"

"It's impossible for the Ministry of War. These guys don't even care about Yu Shangshu's talisman order. Why do they care about the Ministry of War? As for the emperor -" Peng Fulai shook his head: "Qianzhi sent the flying talisman half a day ago, but there has been no response so far. Shanhaiguan The situation over there is dangerous, I guess the emperor is still fighting with Tuotao Buhua."

Zhang Yue scratched his head in distress: "This won't work, and that won't work either. Then we can only go to Badaling or go to Shangguan City to hold on."

Li Xuan shook his head slightly: "If we can't hold on there, let's go to the south entrance."

The "Jundu Trail" in the Taihang Mountains is a deep trench more than 200 miles long, located at the junction of the Taihang Mountains and the Yanshan Mountains.

The Badaling mentioned by Zhang Yue is located to the north of this deep ditch, Juyongguan is at the southern exit of this deep ditch, and Shangguan City is located between the two.

It is worth mentioning that Badaling is also the former site of Juyongguan. After the Yuan and Jin Dynasties, the city of Juyongguan was moved south to the south of the "Jundu Trail".

To the south of Juyongguan, there is another "Nankou Pass". Although its regulation and defense capabilities are not as good as those of Juyongguan and Badaling, it is still a key point of control and blocks the exit of "Jundu Trail".

——As long as any one of these four passes is in the hands of Jin Dynasty, the north gate of Beijing will remain closed.

Li Xuan did not want to go to Badaling and Shangguan City because the Mongol outposts had probably reached the outskirts of Badaling. And Zhang Guanlan's Yunzhong Battleship will also arrive soon.

But the things Leng Yurou brought had to be assembled for a while.

In addition, there were only 3,000 men garrisoned in Badaling and Shangguan City, and their strength was not enough to resist the Mongolian cavalry.

Taking into account that although the little prince Ashe Timur of Waci only had 70,000 cavalry under his command, he might be accompanied by several powerful men of heavenly rank. Li Xuan estimated that his side would have to gather about 20,000 to 30,000 troops, forming a "ten thousand men". The power of the army'.

In addition, there must be a strong defensive array and sufficient military resources.

But seeing the attitude of Yuan Jun, the commander-in-chief of Juyongguan, it was impossible for him to send troops to help Badaling and Shangguan City.

At this time, only the "Nankou Pass" located south of Juyong Pass met the conditions. It was backed by the capital and could mobilize the manpower and material resources of the entire Beizhili as a backing.

In addition, the generals in Badaling and Shangguan City are all third-grade generals, but Nankou Pass is guarded by a fifth-grade guerrilla general.

"But Juyong has closed the gate and refuses to accept it. How should we pass through the Nankou Pass?" Peng Fulai looked at the steep and towering Jundu Mountains on both sides: "We can't just go around it, right?"

Zhang Yue's eyes brightened slightly: "It can be circumvented! We have so many magicians here, are we afraid that we can't circumvent it?"

The Jundu Mountains, which are located at the junction of the Yanshan Mountains and the Taihang Mountains, are surrounded by mountains. Except for the Jundu Trail, there is no way for soldiers to pass. However, if you only have 3,500 cavalry, you can still do it with the help of magic.

The key is that their magicians are indeed abundant in number, far exceeding the proportion in the army.

Li Xuan moved swiftly and resolutely, and in just half a moment, these 3,500 riders galloped up a gentle hillside nearby.

At this time, they were surrounded by strong winds. The 'Light Body Technique' made them as light as swallows and ran like the wind; the 'Earth Movement Technique' allowed them to walk on steep mountain walls as if they were walking on flat ground.

Buddhist spells are different from Taoist spells, but the effects are similar.

As for some terrains that are really difficult to pass, there are also magicians who open roads over mountains and build bridges over water.

In less than two and a half minutes, Li Xuan had led 3,500 riders to the 'Nankou Pass'.

Nankou Pass is actually very close to Juyong Pass, only forty-two miles apart (three times the map), so Li Xuan doesn't need to take a long detour.

The guards here did not dare to be as unruly and rude as Yuan Jun, the commander-in-chief of Juyong Pass. The guerrilla general's name was Wang Yuan. He personally went outside the gate and welcomed Li Xuan and others into Guancheng.

Not only did this man give up all the military power, but he also told a piece of news that made Li Xuan and others change their minds when they heard it: "Master Jing'an Hou, you have come at the right time. The last general is actually now without a master. The commander of Juyongguan may have rebellion." , I estimate that Kaicheng may have to surrender over there."

Li Xuan couldn't help but look sideways at this person: "Why do you think so? What's the basis for it?"

Wang Yuan clasped his fists and said: "The general discovered that Juyongguan Station no longer forwarded talisman arrows two days ago. It is said that Shanhaiguan fell and Xifengkou and Gubeikou were broken. There are not a hundred talisman arrows between Xuanfu and Beijing. It has to be over eighty.

But in the past two days, the general did not find any talisman arrows coming from the direction of Juyongguan. In addition, Yuan Jun, the commander-in-chief of Juyong Pass, also sent three thousand cavalry here yesterday, saying that he wanted to strengthen the strength of the Nankou Pass defenders.

I felt something was wrong. Firstly, Juyongguan's own garrison strength was insufficient, and secondly, they did not have the troop dispatching talisman from the Ministry of War and the Fifth Army Governor's Office. The final general pushed back on the pretext that Nankou Pass and Juyong Pass did not belong to each other. "

Li Xuan's expression suddenly changed with shock, and he looked back in the direction of Juyongguan.

He thought to himself that it was no wonder that he could not contact either the Six Daosi Headquarters or the Emperor.

He felt cold. If Juyongguan surrendered to Mengwu, the situation of Jin Dynasty would only become worse.

Li Xuan was originally planning to take over the defeated troops at Juyongguan after the city was defeated. The fifteen thousand soldiers stationed in this city are all elite soldiers of the frontier army.

Judging from the current situation, it would be better for him to give up this idea as soon as possible.

Behind Li Xuan, the three monks looked at each other, their expressions became more bitter, and they all felt that they were one step closer to death.

When they entered Guancheng, Li Xuan's solemn mood improved slightly. He found that the war preparations here were extremely sufficient. All the weapons and equipment needed to defend the city were in place, and a large number of civilians were digging deep trenches behind the city wall and building Juma stone walls.

"There are 2,000 soldiers and horses in Nankou Pass. I also asked the Ministry of War to mobilize troops from the five surrounding 1,000-household stations. Currently, there are 6,700 defenders in total. In addition, there are 3,000 civilians temporarily recruited as auxiliary troops. .”

Wang Yuan led the way and explained: "Just two hours later, six thousand soldiers and horses from Baoding Prefecture arrived for reinforcements. Most of them were guardsmen, and only one thousand of them were transferred from Zijingguan. Elite. There are still 30,000 people in the capital camp, but these people are not enough to defend the capital, and the Fifth Army Governor's Office no longer dares to mobilize troops."

Li Xuan frowned. These soldiers and horses, plus his 3,500 men, could only barely make up 20,000, and they were all a mob.

However, given the current situation of the Jin Dynasty, it is already very good to be able to gather 20,000 troops and horses at Nankou Pass.

After reaching the top of the city, Li Xuan glanced around, pointed to a hilltop behind Guancheng and said: "Yurou, assemble on the top of the hill over there. If there is rebellion in Juyongguan, then time will be tight. Can we get there?" Completed within two hours?"

He looked at the terrain around him and saw that only the shooting area on that side was not blocked. No matter which direction the Yunzhong Battleship comes from, his electromagnetic gun can deal with it.

In addition, there is a fort built on the top of this mountain, which is integrated with the defensive array of Nankou Pass and can provide certain protection.

"Two hours?" Leng Yurou thought for a moment before rising into the air and flying towards the mountain pointed by Li Xuanyuan: "That's enough, but you have to lend me your Demon-Suppressing King Kong."

As she spoke, she unceremoniously took over the control of the 'Devil-Subduing King Kong' from Li Xuan.

Li Xuan then looked at the many civilians in the pass: "Stop the work in the pass first, and while there is still time, strengthen the city walls and magic circle."

"Sir." Guerrilla general Wang Yuan was slightly stunned when he heard this, UU reading www.uukanshu. netｔ Then he held his fists with a sincere expression and said: "Your Majesty, with the help of Yunzhong gunboats, the Mongol people may not be able to defend the city wall. In the opinion of the general, at this time, the only way to defeat the Mongols is through street fighting. The Mongols blocked the road at Nankou Pass."

Li Xuan looked at him in surprise, with some appreciation in his eyes.

This guerrilla general is not only knowledgeable, but also very good in military tactics.

"This is reasonable, but what if I am sure that I can shoot down those five Yunzhong warships?" Li Xuan looked at him with profound eyes: "If the shells of these Yunzhong warships cannot hit Nankou Pass, the general still thinks that the pass will be shot down." Are walls useless?”

"Is this true?" A look of disbelief appeared on the face of guerrilla general Wang Yuan: "Sir, the range of the warship in the cloud is said to be as high as one hundred and eighty miles."

"When it comes to military and national affairs, I will never lie."

Li Xuan laughed dumbly: "In just two hours, no matter how hard you rush the fortifications in the city, you can't complete them perfectly. General Wang, why don't you take a gamble with me and see if Li has this ability."

Guerrilla general Wang Yuan looked at Li Xuan's majestic aura and said decisively, "I will just obey your orders!"
